Showing faster with the second pregnancy?

Share

I am 5 weeks prgnant and I am showing so much faster than I did if my first one. I know you that you usually show faster with the second one but I didn't think it was this fast. I have already grown into a new bra size and my pants are snug. Could I be further along?

i am 6 weeks pregnant and i have a 2 year old. I have been panicked because i am popping out of my bra and i am so uncomfortable. I was really sick with my first baby but had energy for the most part i really didn't look pregnant until 5 or so months in.i lost 12 pounds in the first trimester. i have gained 3 pounds in just a few weeks! i have no energy,but no nausea, no vomiting, and i feel like i am literally starving i have to eat every other hour! i thought twins but i can see a change and i feel so pregnant! i am glad i know nothing is really wrong with me or my baby.

I am really so glad I'm reading this. I'm almost 6 weeks and I feel so different than in my first. I started showing with my first pretty early about 31/2 months but at 5 1/2 weeks I'm already feeling huge and bloated and pregnant. how odd.

i thought i was just going crazy but i'm only 5 weeks and am already starting to have problems fiting into my clothes... glad to know that i'm not going nuts.. this is my 2nd pregnancy and and my children will be 5 years apart.... but glad to know that i'm not the only one that is already starting to show so early!

WOW! you ladies have made my day! I am preggo with baby #2 and started showing at about 6 weeks. My husband and mother are convinvced that I am having twins! I am currently 14 weeks and look 6 or 7 months preggo!

Okay, so I was freakin out because I am just barely into my 7th week and I have already had someone at work say 'Wow, you're really poppin out today"! I had heard that you show faster with baby #2, but no one said that it would be this fast. I've already gained like 10 pounds too, and although I swear it's mostly in my bra, I am already considering pullin out my maternity pants just because all of my pants are tight enough that they are uncomfortable... But from all that I have read a lot of this sounds pretty common for your second pregnancy... So maybe I'll try to stop worrying about it and just embrace it! This is our last one so I guess getting to experience everything so much earlier is a good thing... It gives me that much more time to really savor the experience! Good luck ladies... and keep up the helpful posts!

I am 7 weeks and I feel huge! I did not start showing with my first till I was 5 months, I hope that this is not a peek into the how the rest of my pregnancy will go. Does it level out or do we all blow up for the second one?

i am 5 and 1/2 weeks with my son(6yrs) i didnt show til i was almost 6 months yesterday everybody kept askn was i pregnant i noticed i have a round hard belly already.but im only 105lbs b4 pregnancy been craving sweets,with my son i just craved sandwiches weird huh..

Oh this is good news to me! I am almost 7 weeks and My husband keeps saying "you shouldn't be showing this soon.". I can now happily tell him, he's wrong and I'm not just super fat! LoL! What a relief!
